Thank you to the Guest reviewers and everyone from around the world who is reading and liking these one-shots. I had no idea that there would be a lot of viewers whenever I update my chapters, which really makes me happy! ^_^ Like I promised you and since you guys replied, here is the Sonic Boom human one-shot I mentioned about. Also, Sonic is a herm in this story.
Summary: Sonic started to act a little different after coming back from his daily runs. Tails and the others noticed he would eat a lot more than usual, get nauseous, fatigued, and his emotions would change around them or with anyone in sight. But once they figure out why, it gave them a shock of a lifetime.
Out in the open field far from civilization, a figure sped through the grass, hearing them crunch from his sneakers as he let the wind take him to where he needed to go. The figure is a male human with blue hedgehog ears and a tail. His long blue hair reaches mid-back with two strands framing his face, a strand of hair resting at the center of his forehead reaching his nose with spiky bangs included, emerald eyes, blue eyebrows, and peach skin.
He wore a black tank-top that reached his ribcage with an opened blue vest to reveal his lithe figure, a brown bandana scarf tied around his neck, white sports tape wrapped around his biceps and wrists, and white gloves. He even wore blue shorts with white stripes at the edge, a brown utility belt hung around his waist, white sports tape wrapped around his calves, white socks, and a pair of red sneakers with white stripes, yellow buckle, and white sports tape wrapped around the ankles and heels.
This person is Sonic the Hedgehog, hero of Seaside Island.
Speeding through the jungle area located on the other side of the island, Sonic wanted to have some alone time after his latest battle with his nemesis Dr. Eggman, who always get defeated by Sonic and his team. Plus, this had to be the 5th time this week Eggman's scheme would involve a robot with a ridiculous name.
"At least he's keeping himself active," Sonic mumbled to himself.
As Sonic continued to run at a fast pace, he didn't realize that he arrived at an unfamiliar area, causing him to look around. "What is this place?"
His eyes spotted something purple not far from where he is, causing him to arrive at the spot in mere seconds, stopping so he wouldn't crush them. He crouched down and plucked the flower off, examining it in his hand. "Is this lavender?"
He brought it close to his nose and sniffed it, then looked back at it. "It smells like lavender, but why does it look a bit different?"
Checking his surroundings, he spotted a black figure hunched over on his knees near a huge batch of lavender flowers. He carefully went over to see who it is, feeling like he had seen this person from somewhere. Sonic tapped the person's shoulder. "You okay there, pal?"
The figure turned around, causing Sonic to step back in astonishment. "S-Shadow?"
His rival, Shadow the Hedgehog, wasn't attacking him nor insulting him. Instead, he was on his knees panting heavily with his face red and flushed. His appearance remained the same as usual the last time Sonic saw him: black hedgehog ears and a tail, black spiky hair that was curved at the end with red highlights, black bangs framing his face along with a black and red strand resting at the center of his forehead, black eyebrows, caramel colored skin, ruby colored eyes, eyeliner, light red eyeshadow, and a chiseled figure.
Shadow's outfit consisted of a black shirt with a red and black leather jacket over it left unzipped, white fuzzy fur outlining the neck part of his jacket, golden inhibitor rings on his wrists and ankles, white gloves with black and red cuffs, black pants with a red belt buckle wrapped around his waist, gray chain sticking out from his pocket, and his white air shoes with red and black designs on them.
However, Sonic almost didn't believe this was Shadow because his Shadow would always have a mean scary look whenever he sees him. But instead, this Shadow appeared totally out of it, as if he drank too much alcohol.
"What happened to you, man?" Sonic asked.
Shadow struggled to get up, so Sonic went ahead and helped him. Then, he yelped when Shadow fell on one knee as he hugged Sonic's waist, resting his head against his stomach. "Why?..."
"W-Why what?" Sonic asked.
"Why do you feel so soft?" Shadow felt Sonic's curves.
"H-Hey now! Don't tickle me!" Sonic grabbed Shadow's hands, and hoisted him up. He kept his hold on Shadow, wishing Shadow wasn't so tall by a foot. "Geez, are you okay Shadz? You're acting weird today."
He placed his hand on Shadow's forehead. "Are you getting sick? I sure hope it's true since I've never seen you ill before."
Shadow chuckled lowly, gently grabbing Sonic's hand as he moved it down to his cheek and placed his hand over his. "You're so adorable, Sonic~"
"Uh, thanks?" Sonic tilted his head in confusion. "Looks like you are sick."
"Why are you so beautiful?~"
"H-Huh!?"
Shadow took a step forward, cupping Sonic's cheeks as he gazed down at him with a loving expression. "Your creamy peach skin feels soft~ Your eyes glitter like emeralds~ Those luscious pink lips entice me~" His hands slid down to rest on Sonic's waist. "Your attractive body makes it difficult for me not to touch you~"
Sonic felt his cheeks heating up, as he saw Shadow leaning in until their noses touched. "I can never get you out of my mind, Sonic~ I want you all to myself~"
Licking his lips, Shadow leaned in to brush his lips against Sonic's. Just when he was about to press against them, he felt himself being shoved away, causing him to nearly stumble. Looking back, he saw Sonic blushing up a storm, as he took a few steps back.
"Take it easy, Shadow! We're enemies, remember!?" Sonic had his hands out. "Whatever trick you're pulling, I'm not falling for it!"
Shadow tilted his head, smirking in a seductive manner. "What trick?~ I just want to show how much you mean to me~"
He took a step forward, then another. "My body feels so hot when I'm around you~ You're making me feel this way~"
"M-Me making you feel this way!? Y-You're delusional, dude!"
"You smell so good~ I wonder what you taste like~"
Shadow disappeared, then reappeared in front of Sonic as he pushed him down on the ground. Before Sonic could react, his wrists were pinned to the ground, stunned at how strong Shadow is along with the seductive grin appearing on his face as he saw Shadow's white fangs peeking out from his mouth. "I knew you would be submissive to me, my sexy little hedgehog~"
Sonic struggled, trying to get out of Shadow's grip. "Get off me, Shadow! Let me go right now!"
"No~ You're all mine~"
"This isn't funny! I don't have time for this weird game of yours!"
"It's not a game, Sonic~" Shadow licked his lips, his crimson eyes clouded with lust and hunger as he gazed down at his rival. "I want you all to myself~" He pressed his body against Sonic's, groaning in delight. "Your body fits well against mine~"
"You can stop with the jokes now, Shadow! You already won!" Sonic tried to kick him off. "Now get off! You're heavy!"
"I'm not joking, my cute little uke~"
"W-What did you just call me!?"
"My adorable little hedgehog who is making my body feel on fire~"
"H-Hey! What are you doing!?"
Shadow grinded his lower half against Sonic's, smirking down at him. "I can't hold myself back anymore!~ I want to have sex with you right now!~"
Sonic couldn't scream when he felt lips pressed deeply against his mouth.
He choked back a sob as he vigorously rubbed his skin with a loofah sponge until it was red and raw. The shower faucet poured water all over him, as Sonic sat in the tub nude and curled into a ball. It's still painful for him to stand, and he used the loofah sponge splattered with soap to scrub all over his body, hoping to forget the feeling of what happened to him.
"You feel so good, Sonic~" Shadow purred in his ear, thrusting inside of him while licking away Sonic's tears.
Sonic grabbed his head, curling his fingers tight on his hair as he shook it to block out the horrible memory of what his own rival had done to him. His body, littered with bitemarks and hickeys, quivered as he kept his eyes shut tightly, feeling something leak from his eyelids but he wasn't sure if it was from the shower water or his tears.
"S-Stop, Shadow! I-It hurts!" Sonic cried out in pain, pinned down on his stomach.
Shadow bit his neck, hugging his bare body close to his as he growled and continued to thrust inside Sonic's bottom. "I want more of you!~ I must release more of my seed into you!~"
Sonic screamed, hugging his body as he let the water hit him. He didn't care if anyone might've heard it. All he wanted is to forget about what had happened to him earlier. Forget about the aching pain and blood from his private regions. Forget about the soreness his whole body is feeling.
But most of all, pretend that none of this had happened. That he did not lose his virginity to Sha-
"No!" Sonic shouted. "Do not say his name nor think about him! It's not my fault!"
He gazed down at himself, using the loofah sponge to rub his abdomen. "It isn't my fault…"
A mixture of pain and pleasure escaped from Sonic's lips as he hugged Shadow, clawing his back as Shadow held him on his lap, thrusting his member inside of Sonic's vulva. "P-Please! N-No more!"
"I'll never stop!~" Shadow moaned, releasing his seed inside of him. He then continued to move his member inside of him, squeezing Sonic's bottom. "Not until I put a baby in you!~"
"I sure hope not…" Sonic touched his stomach, sniffing as he turned off the shower faucet. "I made sure to take my medication on time…"
He moved the shower curtains, used his hands to hoist himself to sit on the edge of the bathtub, gritted his teeth at the solid surface making contact with his abused bottom, grabbed the towel from the towel rack, and used it to dry himself off. Once he finished, he began to dry his hair, slowly and carefully standing up as he got out of the tub and over to where the sink is.
The bathroom mirror showed the reflection of a sad boy with red puffy eyes, flushed skin, and body littered with bitemarks and hickeys. Looking away from the mirror, Sonic ignored the searing pain from his vulva and rear as he quickly put on some spare clothes, wearing an oversized white cotton shirt with black shorts and white socks.
He finished towel drying his hair, threw it in the laundry hamper, and dashed out of the bathroom, over to where his hammock is. As he carefully got on his comfy hammock, Sonic laid on his side and covered himself with a blanket he grabbed from his couch. He hugged it close, inhaling the mint scent that reminded him of his little brother Tails.
His little brother can never know what happened to him. He's not old enough to understand how severe the pain is, nor does he ever want him to experience that. Even his friends can never know, or they'll do something they might regret.
The same goes for Eggman and the villagers, because Sonic isn't the type to express his feelings.
Shaking his head, Sonic figured that a small nap could help him, since his body is pleading with him to rest. He closed his eyes, dreaming only of chili dogs and his friends. Only the happy stuff and not the scary stuff he experienced.
"You sure are hungry, Sonic," Tails commented, sitting next to Sonic.
"This time, the robot employees made the food and not Dave," Sonic shoved another chili dog in his mouth.
"And this time, there's no live fish in my burger," Amy replied.
"Fish has meat, and meat is good for you," Knuckles chomped on his fish burger.
"I still don't trust those robots," Sticks glared at a robot employee sweeping the floor with a broom.
Team Sonic is now at Meh Burger, deciding to eat their usual lunch there. Like Sonic, Tails and the others have their own battle uniforms to wear along with their communicators. Tails wore a yellow shirt with blue overalls, white gloves, brown and red goggles perched on his head to tame his messy yellow hair, brown utility belt hung around his waist, white socks, and red and white sneakers.
Tails also has yellow fox ears, blue eyes, freckles, and two fluffy yellow tails with white at the tip attached to his butt. To Sonic, Tails is his adorable little brother who is obsessed with learning and inventing new things.
Sitting next to Tails is Knuckles the Echidna, a tall man with milk chocolate skin, long red hair styled in dreadlocks, echidna tail, and amethyst eyes. He has white sports tape wrapped around his arms, white gloves with spikes on them, a red tank-top with a white crescent-shaped symbol on the front part where his chest is, red shorts, white sports tape wrapped around his legs, and red and yellow shoes with green cuffs, light gray soles, and metallic sextuple-bolted plates on top.
Next to Knuckles is Sticks the Badger, a young girl with tanned skin, light and brown dark hair tied in twin ponytails, brown badger ears and a tail, blue eyes, and a necklace braided with seashells and a gold ring. She wore a gray midriff tube top and a gray skirt with an auburn rope belt, tan fur-skin boots with a fur cuff and metal bands, golden bang on her right upper arm, and a spiral bracelet on her left wrist.
Sitting in-between Sonic and Sticks is Amy the Hedgehog, a young girl with peach skin, short pink hair, a pink headband, and green eyes. She also has pink hedgehog ears and a tail, white gloves, and gold ring bracelets. Her outfit consisted of a cerise and white minidress with gold buttons, purple sports tape wrapped around her forearms, sarashi tied around her waist, purple stockings, and sneakers colored in cerise, purple, and white with gold buttons and gray soles.
It had been days since they last went to Meh Burger, but not counting yesterday when they all decided to go eat at Amy's house to try her new vegan recipe, which is a little better than having to eat newspapers. Even the fight against Dr. Eggman and his robots didn't excite them earlier, since it was the same old plot that kept on repeating for each episode.
Besides the usual dish, Sonic ended up ordering more chili dogs after eating 3. Now, he was on his 5th chili dog and went to chili dog #6. "After this, should we all play some volleyball?"
"It'll have to wait since you just ate 6 chili dogs," Amy reminded.
Sonic waved it off, finishing his final chili dog. "My stomach is made out of steel. It's perfectly-
He suddenly got up and dashed off. Then, he came back to the table wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "Before you say it, I just want to clarify that these chili dogs are highly unstable."
"We can tell after you left to throw up," Tails commented. "But on the bright side, you vomited all the nasty stuff out before it can give you diarrhea."
"That's only a minor side effect," Dave rolled his eyes, then went back to reading his comic book from behind the counter.
Sonic dashed away again, then came back. "Okay, now all the nastiness is out."
Knuckles ran towards the trashcan, threw up from what he ate earlier, then gave everyone a thumbs up. "I'm okay!"
Amy sniffed as she dabbed her cheeks with a tissue. "Such a beautiful story! Who knew the main character has a way with words?"
"I enjoy the dialect, plot, and touching bond between the little boy and his toy airplane," Tails beamed.
Knuckles wiped away a stray tear. "That poor sandwich. How could anyone be so cruel to it!?"
Sticks wanted to say something, but noticed Sonic wiping his eyes. "Out of all of us, I think Sonic here enjoyed the movie."
"Awww, you're opening up your emotions to us?" Amy smiled sweetly at Sonic.
Sonic hiccupped, wiping his tears with a tissue. "I-I'm not crying! T-There was some dirt in my eyes!"
Tails patted his back. "There there, bro. You can let it all out."
"Let us cry together, my noble friend!" Knuckles hugged Sonic.
Sonic sobbed on Knuckles, while Knuckles did the same. Tails and Amy were busy comforting them, while Sticks grabbed her chin in a thinking pose.
"Usually Sonic never gets super emotional over a movie," she gasped. "But what if it's not Sonic but a robotic clone sent by the government to attack us!?" She glared at the sky and pointed at it. "You won't fool me! I'm on to you!"
Suddenly, they all heard evil laughter as they saw Dr. Eggman coming out of the movie theater with Orbot and Cubot following him. "You losers get too emotional over a dumb movie like that. As for me, I-
Dr. Eggman didn't finish when he was pulled into a giant group hug by Knuckles and Sonic, who were still sobbing over the movie. This surprised him, as he awkwardly patted their backs and looked at Amy. "Are they always like this?"
Amy shook her head with her hands on her hips. "Only Knuckles, but not Sonic. If you want, you can also release your emotions and-
"On second thought, never mind!" Dr. Eggman got out of the group hug and flew off in his egg mobile with his robotic minions.
Sonic yawned, slouching on his seat. "Why are we here again?"
Tails flipped through a magazine. "We promised Amy that all of us will get our yearly health check-up by the new doctor who moved from the city about a year ago."
"I'm surprised the new doctor has the same last name as Doc Ginger."
"Except she likes to be called Doctor Ginger and has rabbit features."
"At least she's smart and gets to the point."
"She even provides lollipops to all her patients, especially the kids."
Soon, Knuckles exited the door where he had to go and approached them. "I'm strong and healthy with no injuries!" He showed them a purple lollipop. "I even got a free lollipop for being a good boy!"
Knuckles shoved the red lollipop in his mouth, moaning in delight. "Yum! Grape!"
Amy face-palmed. "I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that."
Sticks scanned her surroundings. "There better not be any cameras nearby!"
A woman with long white hair tied in a braid, pale skin, rabbit ears, puffy tail, glasses, and doctor's outfit came out from the door holding a clipboard. "Sonic the Hedgehog?"
"Here!" Sonic raised his hand, slowly standing up. "You know, I don't have anything wrong with me. You can skip me and-
"Just go!" Amy shoved him forward with incredible strength, startling Sonic as he grumbled and followed the doctor.
Arriving at the examination room, Sonic sat on the exam table covered in paper. "So, what's gonna happen?"
The rabbit lady, whom Sonic figured is Doctor Ginger from her nametag, gently smiled at him. "I'm just gonna do a quick head-to-toe assessment to see if everything is okay."
She did that, typed what she found on her computer, then checked his vital signs. "I noticed your pulse is higher than its normal range. Is this common due to your speed?"
Sonic shrugged. "Something like that. Whenever there's trouble, I'm always there to stop it."
"I see," Doctor Ginger typed on the computer. "Mr. Hedgehog, I just need to perform one final examination on you."
"You can call me Sonic instead of Mr. Hedgehog, and okay. What is it?"
"A pelvic exam."
"A what?"
"You mentioned before about your condition, correct?"
"Well, yeah."
"It is a very rare case to have a patient who is a hermaphrodite. Because you mentioned you have female parts, no other doctor knew about it, correct?"
Sonic slowly nodded. "To tell you the truth, you're the first and only doctor I told and trust who wouldn't tell a soul."
"I am under strict patient and doctor confidentiality. I highly respect my patient's information," Doctor Ginger turned her head to gaze at him. "A pelvic exam checks the health of the reproductive organs. We want to make sure your female organs are functioning well with no complications."
"Will it hurt?" Sonic closed his legs, feeling a little self-conscious.
"Not at all. It will be uncomfortable at first, but it won't take that long."
"I-I guess it wouldn't hurt to have one."
"Alright then. I'll prepare the procedure, and all you have to do is remove your shorts and underwear."
Sonic got off the exam table and went behind the changing room, as Doctor Ginger got all the necessary supplies needed for the pelvic exam. When they were both ready, Sonic took some deep breaths to calm himself while Doctor Ginger performed the exam. Thankfully, it didn't last too long as she did what she had to do and left to get the results while Sonic quickly put his underwear and shorts back on.
Soon, Doctor Ginger came back with the papers as she sat on a stool in front of Sonic, who sat back down on the exam table. "I have your results, and it looks like you have no complications." She read the results. "Your genitals are functioning properly, there are no diseases, and there is also-
She stopped talking, reading the results again with a stunned expression. Adjusting her glasses, she read the paper again. "Oh dear…"
"Is something wrong?" Sonic asked.
"I never knew it was possible…"
"What's not possible?"
Clearing her throat, she smiled a little and looked at Sonic. "This is quite rare, but congratulations!"
Sonic arched his eyebrow in confusion. "Uh thanks? But for what?"
Doctor Ginger smiled wide. "In all my years as a doctor, I had no idea its possible. I congratulate you on the new blessing, Sonic!"
"New blessing?"
"I double checked my results, and what the tests say is true. You are indeed pregnant!"
Sonic froze, as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on him. He didn't hear what else the doctor said, but only her words repeated in his head. Did she say Sonic is pregnant? But he's a boy? True he has female parts, but he's been taking his medication to prevent his hormones from going out of wack, along with suppressing his fertility until he is ready to have a kid.
He felt his whole body shaking, covering his mouth in horror as his pupils dilated. Sonic couldn't breathe. He had to get out of here. Away from this place.
He jumped off the examination table and ran. He ignored Doctor Ginger's shouts to come back. He ignored the stunned expression his team had when they saw him ran out the clinic. Sonic kept running, passing the villagers, the village, Dr. Eggman and his robots, and didn't stop until he ended up in his shack.
Sonic got inside, fell down to his knees, and screamed. He ignored the tears leaking from his eyes as he continued to let out a heart-wrenching scream that shook the shack. The scream was so loud that anyone could've heard it from outside.
However, Sonic didn't care if anyone heard him because all he wanted to do was scream and scream until his voice gave out. He didn't know how long he screamed, nor did he remember when he passed out.
"How is this even possible!?" Amy furiously rubbed her pink hair in a frenzy. "Sonic's a boy!"
"He's been taking his medication ever since he first learned of his medication when we were little," Tails rapidly typed on his keyboard, checking the monitor for any results. "I kept track on whether or not he's been taking them on time."
"No matter what Sonic is, I still respect him," Knuckles replied.
"I'm pretty sure there's an alien in Sonic's stomach. The aliens did this to him!" Sticks shook her fist in anger at the ceiling. "You'll pay for what you did! Do you hear me!?"
"The real question is – who is the one who got Sonic pregnant!?" Amy shouted.
"He never mentioned about seeing anyone," Tails pondered. "I'm sure there's a rational explanation once he wakes up."
When he said that, they heard whimpering coming from the couch. They rushed over to find Sonic tossing and turning, forehead sheered in a layer of sweat as his eyes scrunched tightly. Recognizing it as a nightmare, Tails gently shook Sonic. "Wake up, Sonic! It's not real!"
It didn't work, and Tails shook harder. "Listen to my voice, Sonic! You need to wake up!"
Sonic opened his eyes and screamed, scaring his friends as he sat up and breathed heavily, looking around to see that he was lying on the couch. Seeing that Sonic is having a panic attack, Amy rushed over and got near him. "Sonic, listen to me carefully. Name 5 things you can see."
He nodded, breathing heavily as he looked around. "Y-You. W-Wall. T-Tails. K-Knuckles. S-Sticks."
"That's good. Name 4 things you can feel."
"T-The blanket. M-My hand. C-Cushion. C-Clothes."
"Okay, now name 3 things you can hear."
"M-My breath. T-Tails' computer. B-Birds chirping."
"You're doing good. Now, name 2 things you can smell."
"I-I smell dust. A-And strawberry."
"You're almost there. Name 1 thing you can taste."
"M-My saliva."
"You did great, Sonic. How do you feel right now?"
Sonic's breathing slowed down after answering those questions, helping him focus more. "A-A bit better. T-Thanks."
"You're welcome," Amy smiled, patting his hand.
"W-Wasn't I at home?"
"We brought you here when you fainted at your shack."
"I-I did?"
"And we know the reason why," Tails patted Sonic's back. "When you ran off, Doctor Ginger informed us to keep an eye on you so there wouldn't be any danger to you and your body. After we went looking for you and found you unconscious at the shack, we brought you here at my house so I could run some tests to make sure you didn't get any illness."
Sonic paled. "W-What do you know?"
Tails hugged him. "Don't be scared, Sonic. All of us are here to help and support you. We'll get through this."
"We'll help you raise the baby together as a family," Amy reassured him.
"Once the kid is here, I want to be known as the cool uncle," Knuckles said.
"Are you sure you didn't get abducted by aliens?" Sticks questioned.
Sonic was stunned to hear that they are willing to support Sonic having a baby, causing him to close his eyes as a sob escaped from his lips. He could feel his eyes getting leaky again, and his friends hugging him while reassuring him that everything will be fine.
However, everything is not fine.
"We won't judge you on whom you got pregnant with. All that matters is that you and the baby are healthy," Tails rubbed Sonic's back in a comforting manner.
Sonic shook his head, still crying. "I-It wasn't supposed to happen!"
"Maybe you forgot to take your medication or did not use protection when you and your partner-
"No! Nothing like that!"
Amy placed her hands up. "Sonic, breathe and relax. We're not judging you. All we want to know is who is the lucky person that won you over?"
"N-No one!"
"A baby is made by two people. Just give us a name, detail, or anything so we can have a nice long chat-
"I NEVER CONSENTED TO HAVING SEX!"
Amy froze, along with the others as they processed the words repeated in their heads. Seeing the petrifying expression on their friend, they all engulfed him in a comforting hug, whispering soft and soothing words to him. Reassuring him that what happened was not his fault. As they tended to their crying friend, thoughts of anger and revenge consumed their minds, wanting to know who is the monster that hurt their blue hedgehog.
Months had passed after hearing about Sonic's pregnancy, and how it happened. They didn't question more of his attack due to fear that the stress can cause harm to both Sonic and the baby. All they can do is keep Sonic calm and relaxed without feeling stressed. They would also support whatever decision Sonic would make on whether or not he is ready to have a child, and his answer surprised them.
Sonic shook his head, hugging his stomach. "I won't get rid of my child. This baby is carrying my blood."
"You want to keep the baby?" Amy asked. "Are you sure?"
"I am. My kid is innocent in all of this. He/She shouldn't be punished for someone else's sins."
Tails nodded. "You're right about that. However, we cannot let anyone else know about your pregnancy. We don't want to attract any unwanted attention."
"Especially Eggman and all the evil related to technology!" Sticks cried out.
"As long as I get to punch stuff, then I am all in!" Knuckles slammed his fist into the palm of his hand.
Team Sonic kept their promise by always staying close to Sonic, making sure he doesn't go anywhere alone unless it's the bathroom, and secretly gathering clues on who is the person that got Sonic pregnant. The only clue they had gotten was the word lavender, which Sonic spilled from his slumber after his most recent nightmare.
"The attacker smelled like lavender, or it's the location where it happened," Tails frowned.
"Is lavender also a drink?" Knuckles questioned.
Amy nodded. "It's a flavor you can add in coffee or tea. However, its only limited edition."
"It still won't help us figure out who the monster is," Sticks seethed. "When I get my hands on that scumbag, I'll tear him apart limb from limb and make them beg for mercy!"
"Get in line. I want to kill that monster first," Tails snarled, eyes narrowed in anger. "I won't give up until I get justice for my brother!"
"Me too!" Amy got her mallet out.
"Same here!" Knuckles cracked his knuckles.
Sonic came out of the bathroom, rubbing his bulging stomach. "Everything okay out here?"
Tails' expression switched to a happier one as he gave him a thumbs up. "All good, bro!"
Amy happily squealed. "Only a few more months until the little angel arrives!"
Sonic chuckled, sitting down on a chair. "Agreed. It feels like I'm carrying a giant beachball." He caressed his pregnant stomach. "Doctor Ginger said she can perform an ultrasound on me to determine the gender, but I told her I wanted to wait until after the baby is born."
"Like a big surprise?" Tails asked.
"I love surprises!" Knuckles exclaimed. "But only if it involves food and balloons!"
"I bet my collection of mud cakes that it's a girl," Sticks replied.
"I think it might be a boy," Tails raised his hand.
"I'm on Sticks side that it's a girl," Amy also raised her hand.
"It's either a balloon, or a boy!" Knuckles proclaimed.
"Guess we'll have to wait and see once the pup arrives," Sonic patted his stomach, then whispered to it. "I want you to be strong and healthy, little one."
9 months later
Sonic panted heavily, covered in sweat as he felt a wave of contraction hitting him. "I-Is it time yet!?"
Doctor Ginger shook her head, checking his pelvis. "You're not fully dilated, dear. You're at 8 cm."
"Oh come on!"
Amy wiped his forehead with a wet cloth. "Deep and slow breaths, Sonic. You're doing great!"
"She's right. Once you hit 10 cm, it'll be time for you to push," Sticks held his hand.
Sonic hit his head against the pillow, groaning in agony. "It better be quick because I'm ready to push this kid out from my stomach!"
Doctor Ginger examined him from under the blanket, then got her gloves on as she prepared him. "You're fully dilated, Sonic. I need you to push for me!"
Sonic did what he was told, pushing with all his strength.
"Keep pushing! I can see the head!"
Sonic screamed in pain, cursing at everyone and everything who made him like this.
"Keep going! Your baby is almost out!"
Squeezing Sticks' hand tightly, Sonic pushed with all his might while screaming. As he felt something slid out of him, he heard the sounds of a baby crying echoing in his home. Panting heavily as a lone tear ran down his cheek, he looked over to see Doctor Ginger holding his baby in her hands with the cord attached.
"Congratulations, Sonic! You have a strong, healthy boy!"
Placing the baby on his chest, she cleaned him up as Sonic's baby wailed, causing Sonic to nearly cry as he touched the squirming infant on his chest. This is his baby. His flesh and blood that came out from his own body.
Once the cord is cut and the baby is cleaned up, Doctor Ginger wrapped him in a blanket as the girls helped Sonic sit up in a comfortable position. Doctor Ginger carefully handed the baby over to Sonic, who cradled his son in his arms.
Sonic sniffed, holding his crying newborn close to his chest as he kissed his forehead. "Welcome to this world, Shion."
Shion's cried faded into whimpers as Sonic held him close to his heart, slowly rocking him in his arms. Amy and Sticks happily got a good look at Shion, but their expressions changed into shock. Shion's appearance showed that he has caramel colored skin with black hedgehog ears and a tail, black spiky hair with red highlights, and the rest of him made him resemble a certain someone they recalled.
Letting out a cute yawn, Shion slowly opened his eyes, revealing them to be emerald green like Sonic's. Sonic smiled sweetly, and nuzzled his nose. "Looks like you inherited my eyes. I wonder if you got my speed as well?"
While the girls were still astonished at Shion's appearance, Doctor Ginger wrote down Shion's name on his birth certificate along with everything that needed to be filled down. Once it was done, she examined both Sonic and Shion to make sure everything is well for both mother and baby.
A few weeks had passed after Shion was born, and Sonic adjusted his new routine as a parent. His friends helped him tend to Shion, made sure Sonic got plenty of rest, and took turns staying with him or stopping any villain from causing havoc at Hedgehog Village. However, they were still stunned at Shion's appearance.
"All this time, Shadow was the one who did this to my brother," Tails clenched his fists tightly in anger.
Sonic sadly nodded, cradling Shion in his arms as he drank milk from his nipple. "I couldn't say because I didn't want him to know about Shion."
"But we still could've gotten justice for you!"
"I too wanted justice for what happened to me, but not around the time I got pregnant. I had to think of my baby first."
"All of us would make sure there was no evidence left behind so we wouldn't go to jail for murder!"
"Tails, no! Shadow wouldn't hesitate to destroy you all!"
"I'm willing to risk it as long as he pays for what did to you!"
"Hey, easy!" Amy held her hands out. "Sonic, you mustn't stress yourself while feeding Shion. And Tails, Sonic is still recovering from his birth so do not aggravate him."
"If it makes you feel any better, I can assist you on getting revenge on that alien jerk," Sticks suggested.
"Please do," Tails replied.
"Dibs on punching the dirtbag's face!" Knuckles declared.
Amy shook her head, sighing as she patted Sonic's shoulder. "How are you feeling right now?"
"A bit tired and sore, but okay," Sonic started patting Shion's back after he finished having his milk. "I knew Shion is my baby when I first held him in my arms. He has my eyes, and he's not like his father. I'll make sure he grows up to be a good person."
"That's what a real parent would do. I'm proud of you, Sonic," Amy smiled at him.
Sonic smiled back. "Thanks, Ames. Glad you and the others got my back."
Then, Shion burped, causing Amy to aww while Sonic chuckled and kissed his head. "Good job, little dude."
Shion cooed, snuggled against Sonic while tugging on his long blue hair. Sonic stroked his baby's head, happy to have his little boy in his arms. Even though Shion resembled Shadow, he isn't Shadow. Shion is Shion, and Sonic will make sure Shion is raised right. He'll also make sure Shion would never know the circumstances of his creation and birth. It's something that Sonic never wanted to reminisce.
Amy squealed in delight, holding a blue onesie with pineapple patterns on them. "This would look so cute on him!"
Sonic nervously chuckled, making sure the blanket is covering Shion as he held him. "I don't think he'll like the pineapples though."
"Hmm, you're right. Maybe he can wear this onesie with blue and white stripes along with orange designs on them."
"I think I have one like that in the closet for him."
"Really? I can't remember if it was this one or another one with blueberries on them?"
Tails scanned his surroundings. "Good thing we're the only ones here. The shopkeeper mentioned we can hit the bell once we're ready to buy."
"I know what I like," Knuckles giggled when he squeezed a rubber dinosaur toy.
Sticks popped her head in from the entrance. "The coast is clear! I don't see any bad guys, possums, robots, or anything that's a threat to all of us!"
After she said that, the ground started shaking. Putting the items away, they all ran out of the shop to see what was going on. Outside near the village center, Dr. Eggman appeared with some bad guys whom Team Sonic had been familiar with: the Lightning Bolt Society, T.W. Barker, & Charlie.
"Greetings, losers!" Dr. Eggman waved. "I hope you're all ready to be crushed like ants." He grinned evilly. "Because today is the day all of you shall meet your demise!"
Orbot & Cubot pressed a button for a gigantic robot to appear from the sky, landing on the ground as it caused the ground to shake. The robot resembled Mega Bot, but with different features.
Dr. Eggman cackled. "Thanks to my nefarious evildoers, they gave me a brilliant idea to not only update Mega Bot, but also destroy this village!" He pointed at Team Sonic. "Ultra Mega Bot! Attack!"
Ultra Mega Bot stood still.
"I said attack!"
Orbot pressed the button on the remote, then shook it. "It appears we forgot to change the batteries."
"So that's what we forgot!" Cubot replied.
"You nincompoops! I told you to recharge Mega Bot last night!" Dr. Eggman shook his fist in rage.
Suddenly, Ultra Mega Bot started to become engulfed in electricity, causing it to power down. Then, it was suddenly knocked over by something, as Ultra Mega Bot landed face down on the ground.
"No! My Ultra Mega Bot!" Dr. Eggman cried out in agony, then glared at the villains. "Which one of you knocked it down!?"
"Not us! We were behind you this whole time!" Willy Walrus replied.
"And it wasn't my mech suit that caused it this time," Charlie informed.
"Nor me and my stunt bears, since we prefer to be sneaky if it involves money," T.W. Barker said.
They all heard a loud scoff, causing many heads to turn as they saw a tall figure standing on top of the defeated Ultra Mega Bot. "Pathetic. Even with all this help, you still couldn't defeat Sonic."
Dr. Eggman gasped. "Shadow the Hedgehog? You actually came!?"
"To see if your lousy plan could actually work. Sadly, it was more pathetic than before."
"Oh I promise to do better, Shadow! I have another brilliant evil plan!"
Sonic couldn't breathe, frozen in fear as he felt his pupils dilate in fear. Memories of what happened to him rushed into his head, making him hold onto Shion protectively against his chest. His body quivered, covering his mouth to refrain from throwing up. He wanted to run and not be seen, but it felt like his feet were glued to the ground.
"YOU BASTARD!"
Sonic jumped when he saw Tails flew at top speed, launching towards Shadow with his monkey wrench. However, Shadow easily deflected it, grabbed Tails' overalls, and threw him close to the well. Shadow teleported to avoid getting punched by Knuckles, then reappeared at a different spot.
Knuckles glared at him. "Good thing I took that shadow boxing class!"
Letting out a huge roar, he ran towards him with his fists out. However, Shadow dodged it with his speed, teleported to punch or kick him, then launched a powerful punch that blew Knuckles away, causing him to tumble away like a weed.
Shadow tsked, folding his arms over his chest. "That was almost too easy."
"EAT HAMMER, YOU DISGUSTING PUNK!" Amy screeched, running at top speed while swinging her mallet towards him.
"LET ME AT HIM! I'M TAKING THIS ALIEN DOWN!" Sticks yelled, running with Amy while wielding her staff.
Sticks let out a war cry as she jumped up and launched her staff at Shadow, who was able to grab it while Sticks held onto it, spun them around, and threw her away like trash. He then dodged Amy's mallet landing a hit on him, seeing the dent she left on the ground. She swung her hammer again, trying to hit Shadow as he kept on dodging.
"HOLD STILL SO I CAN SQUASH YOU LIKE A GRAPE!" Amy seethed in rage.
Rolling his eyes at her failed attempts to attack him, Shadow vanished when Sticks tried to attack him from behind. As both girls looked around to see where Shadow went, he appeared behind them, grabbed the back of their shirts, used his air shoes to fly upwards, then threw them away as the girls fell all the way down to the ground, landing roughly on the hard surface.
Shadow hovered down slowly until his shoes touched the solid ground, scoffing at the defeated team. "Is that all you got?" He looked around. "Now where is the blue hedgehog?"
He avoided a monkey wrench aimed at him, then kicked away Tails who landed on the ground near him. "Your failed sneak attack was too obvious."
Tails growled, glaring at him with eyes filled with rage and hatred. "Stay away from my brother, you monster!"
"And how am I a monster, fox?" Shadow quirked his eyebrow at him.
"Don't pretend you didn't know what you did to my brother!"
"What exactly have I done to him?"
"YOU HURT HIM!"
"How? I haven't seen him in months," Shadow scanned his surroundings. "Now when is Sonic arriving?"
Orbot, who hid in the bushes with Cubot and the other villains, popped his head out. "I believe he left somewhere in the opposite direction. Perhaps you can check the forest?"
Cubot also piped up. "I'm pretty sure he went left. Or maybe right? I'm not good with directions."
Shadow dashed off after what he heard, deciding to look for the blue boy himself. If Sonic decided to run away like a coward, then Shadow will have to hunt him down and make him fight. No one can escape from the Ultimate Lifeform.
Sonic panted heavily, sliding down behind a huge tree as he held his sleeping baby wrapped in his blanket close to his chest, cradling him in a protective manner. He choked back tears so he wouldn't wake Shion up, not wanting his son to see him in distress. Because right now, Sonic didn't want Shadow to find them. He did not want his rival to know about Shion nor reminisce on what happened the last time they met.
He wiped his teary eyes with the back of his hand, sniffing as he checked his surroundings. Sonic ran deep inside the jungle, and was able to find a good hiding spot where no one can spot them. The giant oak tree's trunk is wide enough to hide him, the bushes surrounded him, and there were a lot of trees to camouflage the area.
The only sounds he could hear are the birds chirping, crickets singing, and running water not far from where he is. Sonic fled deep inside the jungle, which makes it impossible for anyone to find them here. Unfortunately, his prayers weren't heard when his ears picked up on the sound of leaves crunching.
Sonic covered his mouth, trembling as he held Shion protectively while curled into a ball. He could hear someone's footsteps walking at a close distance, but not far from his hiding spot. Hopefully, it's a stray animal or some random hiker who will pass by and not sense them here.
It didn't take that long for the footsteps to vanish, as Sonic remained still. He listened for any more noise, but all he could hear is silence. He thought whoever made the noise had left, and the coast is clear for him and Shion.
He uncovered his mouth and let out a sigh of relief, which was a mistake because someone had teleported in front of him. Fear overwhelmed Sonic as he stared at the familiar face glaring at him, causing him to tremble as he shook his head in disbelief. "N-No… N-No…"
Sonic screamed as the person took a step forward, holding his arm out in a stop motion. "Stay back! Don't come near me!" He scrambled back far as he could, but his back is still pinned against the trunk. "Go away! Please!"
Shadow was slightly surprised at Sonic's expression, but kept his composure as he took a step forward. "Stop being a coward and fight me!"
"Just go, Shadow! Please!"
This angered Shadow, causing him to rush over and slam his fist against the tree, getting down to his knees as he hovered over Sonic, trapping him with his arms to cage him. "What the hell is your problem!?"
His eyes nearly widened when he saw tears escaping from Sonic's eyes, which were filled with pure fear and terror as he saw him quiver in fright. "Sonic?"
"D-Don't hurt us…" Sonic whispered in a heartbreaking tone. "P-Please… I-I beg of you…"
Shadow noticed Sonic clutching onto a bundle wrapped in a yellow blanket. Curious, he reached out to see, but his wrist was grabbed by a gloved hand. "What is in that bundle?"
"N-Nothing! P-Please just leave me alone!" Sonic tried to push Shadow off.
"Don't lie to me, hedgehog!"
His shouting caused Shion to wail, waking him up from his slumber. Shadow was startled at the cry, while Sonic gasped and hugged his baby, softly shushing him as he rubbed his back. "No no. Don't cry, sweetie. We didn't mean to wake you."
Shion's cries faded into whimpers, snuggled against Sonic's chest as Sonic whispered soothing words to him. However, this distraction gave Shadow an opportunity to pull down the blanket, causing his eyes to widened in bewilderment. His crimson eyes were staring at a mini version of himself as a baby, but the emerald eyes were a different story.
Not only that, he picked up on some strong chaos energy, which helped him find Sonic. It turns out that the source of the strong chaos energy came from this infant. And the chaos energy is similar to Shadow's own chaos energy.
Furious at what he had discovered, Shadow grabbed Sonic's wrist tightly. "Where did this baby came from!? And how is this infant similar to me!?"
"S-Stop, Shadow! I-It hurts!" Sonic struggled to get out of his grip.
"Answer me right now!"
"I-I can't!"
"Why the hell not!?"
"You already know the answer!"
"What do I already know!?"
"Please just let go!"
Shion cried, scared at what is happening around him. Sonic softly shushed him, stroking his head with one hand. "Don't cry, baby. No one is mad at you." Comforting his son, Sonic looked at Shadow with a pleading expression. "Shadow, now isn't a good time. Just let me go and let me tend to my pup."
Shadow glared daggers at him, frightening Sonic as he leaned in close for their noses to touch. "Only if you tell me the truth. I want to know why your pup resembles me, and why does he have the same energy like mine?"
His other hand grabbed Sonic's cheeks, squeezing them as he heard a whimper escaping from his lips. "Tell me right now, or it'll get worse for you."
A tear ran down Sonic's cheek, feeling Shadow wipe it away with his thumb. Holding back a sob, Sonic felt Shadow loosen his grip as he gazed at him with glossy green eyes. "H-He shares your blood and mine. S-Shion is your son."
